Snook Fishing in Florida |
|
 
|
We have world-class snook fishing throughout the year as long as the water temperature stays above 70 degrees. The state record and several line class world records have been caught in our local waters. Spring, summer and fall are probably the best time to chase them whether fishing the river, backcountry or beaches. Bait fishing with pilchards and herring can be a blast, especially when we can chum the fish into a frenzy. Not your style, we also have great sight casting for snook on sand bars, in potholes and along the beach or target a trophy fish using big baits near structure or in the passes. Fly fishermen will love being poled along mangrove shorelines searching for laid up and cruising fish. It’s hard to beat watching a big snook engulf a fly or plug in calm, clear water! Night trips are also available and can be both productive and fun, fishing nearby lights, docks and bridges with shrimp, baitfish, artificial and flies. Come see why so many fishermen love catching snook day and night!
